Aligarh: Two men wanted in connection with the violence in the Aligarh Muslim University on May 2 have been arrested by the police for allegedly trying to breach peace and posting inflammatory material on social media.
Amit Goswami and Yogesh Varshney, former city president of Hindu Yuva Vahini, were arrested late yesterday and sent to jail, police said.
According to the police, after the AMU campus violence, the two men had allegedly posted objectionable material on social media which had led to temporary suspension of Internet service in the city.
IG, Aligarh Zone, Dr Sanjeev Gupta told PTI that two youths arrested yesterday were also active in yesterday's attempts to disturb peace in the old city.
Yesterday afternoon, Shahar Mufti and Maulana Khalid Hameed had informed police that the presence of such slogan-shouting youths could push the city to an edge if the situation is not controlled immediately.
He has also asked the district magistrate to immediately institute an inquiry into yesterday's incident in which some youths pasted Jinnah's photographs in the toilets at Dharam Samaj Degree College.
It is reported that the PWD guest house at Khair had portraits of prominent historical personalities belonging to Aligarh city.
